Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: nimnote at none against Fragments's 1. nimnote also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 26.2). Fragments's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
